Man this had to be the longest game I had ever seen in my entire life. Syracuse and Connecticut played a game for the ages Thursday night and into early Friday. When it was over, everybody in Madison Square Garden was exhausted and, except for the losing team, exhilarated. Telling someone that Syracuse (No. 20 ESPN/USA Today, No. 18 AP) beat Connecticut (No. 4 ESPN/USA Today, No. 3 AP) 127-117 in six overtimes in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament is equivalent to saying there's a star in the sky. There's more, so much more. Eight players fouled out of the game -- four on each team. The teams combined for 103 field-goal attempts and 102 points in OT (211 total attempts in the game). Syracuse never led in overtime prior to the sixth extra period. All in all it was a great game and I give big props to both teams.
